Lyrics:
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
[Pre-Chorus:]
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
[Chorus:]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
[Pre-Chorus:]
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
[Chorus:]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...
Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...

One minute in and I just started crying. This song was beautifully signed by you two. The little girl had me crying with her facial expressions, I just love it.

[@aubreegraffvideos9356]

Me too

[@cassandra.complex]

That kiddo has the best roar I've ever seen! She's so great. ❤

[@jennifergonzales08]

Back here again because I absolutely loooove her asl translations.

[@aubreegraffvideos9356]

I know ASL and you people have the best ASL ever

[@Talon802003]

Fantastic!!! -ASL certified interpreter x10yrs

[@aliciafavs4537]

I just love how you translate into perfect ASL where every single body would understand you. Deaf community need to do this too. Keep up.

[@ellenthebold]

Absolutely gorgeous and moving. I love the juxtaposition with the young girl, how meaningful, like she's your past younger self and also the strong and brave future...i don't know! It was gorgeous and really emotional and I love it.

[@janwulf6078]

Great interpretation! Loved the reverberations, blow my top, expert❤

[@Dollsanity]

Rosa I could watch your videos all day. There is a comfort, ease and naturalness to your art that is so comfortable to watch. Even with the music/words muted, all of the meaning is still there.

[@dunnoson2009]

I agree. She is a natural signer, and she puts a lot of effort in these videos. You can tell because she gives it all, uses facial expressions, and how she incorporates kids into her video.

[@tatrask2]

Love it! Beautiful, smooth signing and clear interpretation! How do you know not to use the "eye of a tiger" and sign "notice clear?" One of my biggest challenges is capturing meaning instead of word for word. Thanks.

[@loubragg23]

Awesome ! 🤟

[@dunnoson2009]

Loving your videos Rosa Lee Timm. Been a fan of your videos since I saw you in "Happy" from Camp 7.

[@apostolic7rox]

So great!! I only wish that the video would pan out more so you could see more of the signer.
